MOQ Engineering to provide final design and load calculation’s for Eco Wave Power’s scheme in Porto Eco Wave Power has engaged MOQ Engineering to perform the final design and load calculations for its wave energy project in Porto, Portugal. This work represents a key milestone in the project’s advancement and positions the project for a targeted launch during 2026. The project is a part of a 20MW Concession Agreement entered into with Administracao dos Portos do Douro, Leixoes e Viana do Castelo (APDL), which is located in the city of Porto. It will feature Eco Wave Power’s proprietary wave energy technology and includes an underwater wave energy museum and education centre, set to be housed in “The Gallery” – the room underneath the breakwater where the Company’s energy conversion equipment will be installed. The innovative project aligns with Portugal’s renewable energy goals, aiming to generate 85% of its electricity from renewable sources by 2030. The collaboration with MOQ will focus on delivering the final civil engineering design and detailed load calculations for the floaters, which are key components of Eco Wave Power’s innovative wave energy conversion system. These calculations and designs will be ensuring the safe and efficient installation of the floaters on the marine structure at the project site. This phase of work is scheduled for completion by February 2025. Upon completion of MOQ’s scope of work, Eco Wave Power will submit the full execution project, including all finalised engineering and technical specifications, to APDL. The approval of the execution project by APDL will mark the transition to the next phase of the project – the production of the floaters and accompanying structural components. The first MW-scale wave energy project in Porto will “demonstrate significant energy production from ocean waves” and serve as a critical step towards the commercialisation of Eco Wave Power’s technology globally. Inna Braverman, CEO of Eco Wave Power, said: “This collaboration with MOQ Engineering represents significant progress in the development of our Portuguese project. “Their expertise in engineering and design ensures that we are meeting the highest safety and operational standards. “With their work on track for completion this February, we are steadily moving closer to the production phase and the realization of our goal to make wave energy an integral part of Portugal’s renewable energy mix.” |
